* In 1942, on Himmler’s orders, the SS took over this monastery called the Berchmanianum for his Lebensborn project. An SS Vorkommando from Munich adapted the monks’ cells and living space so that sixty ‘Aryan’ women and a hundred ‘race pure’ children could be housed there in ‘Lebensborn Gelderland’. No children were born there in the end because the place had not been finished until late 1943.
